Skeleton at London Dungeon found to be real
A skeleton at the London Dungeon’s popular “creepy crypt” exhibit   has been found to be real.

It is believed that the bones could have been displayed at the attraction   since it opened in 1975.


Now the skeleton has been found to be genuine, it must be licensed by the   Human Tissues Authority at a cost of 2,000 pounds a year.


The remains, which include a rib-cage and backbone, have been named Kate -   after model Kate Moss.


It is thought she might date from the early days of anatomical research when   bodies were regularly smuggled in from the Far East
And staff now suspect another skeleton hanging in a gibbet cage might also be   real. She is known as Twiggy.



Great story! Click through to read the rest of the article.
